Macron unveiled

The prototype for a new generation of world leaders

The world is changing fast, and politics are evolving with them. Throughout history, times of change have been marked by great leaders shifting the world for the better. Our world today is in crisis. There is a rising need for a new generation of politicians to transform the world, and they seem to appear with a unique style for thinking and behaving. Emmanuel Macron, President of France, could very well be a prototype for a new wave of politicians.

In Macron Unveiled, Alain Lefebvre examines Macron’s first four years as France’s President and analyzes his personality, approach for solving problems, sources of inspiration, mistakes, difficulties, and the impact he has made in France, Europe, and worldwide. Macron Unveiled explains the French political perspective to international audiences, bringing careful analysis and historical context to Macron’s time in office. Lefebvre presents the information in a way that allows readers to gain a better understanding of who Macron is as a man, a leader, and a prototype for the next generation of politicians.

Macron le Suédois

Labour code, vocational training, unemployment insurance, apprenticeship, railways, prisons, or pensions, the social reforms undertaken by President Macron have one thing in common: they are Nordic-inspired, an originality in French political history. But how well do the President’s teams understand the Nordic systems, the reasons for their success, and their limitations? This is the challenge of the five-year term. This book is an invitation to travel to the Nordic countries, particularly to Sweden, to discover how these social and cultural issues have been tackled with pragmatism and with varying degrees of success, to draw lessons for our country, and to learn where Emmanuel Macron could take us.

Faut-il brûler le modèle social Francais?

High unemployment, job insecurity, integration breakdown, and inequality between men and women all seem to combine to lower the morale of the French. Drawn into globalization, they doubt themselves, their policies, and their social model instead of building a modern European social model with EU countries. However, there is a model in Europe that is both competitive and supportive, whose performance is all the more impressive because it nurtures real social cohesion: that of the Nordic countries. It is high time to form an alliance with these states that share our ideals and to develop together a Europe that is economically powerful and supportive, based on strengthened social rights and a new type of welfare state for the 21st century.

Reviews

"Lefebvre guides the reader through an exploration of Macron’s political style and the multitude of ways in which his approach has the potential to inspire a younger generation of leaders."
"Part political biography, part handbook for aspiring world leaders, Macron Unveiled offers a map to steer through the political center in fractured times."
"Lefebvre brings his professional experience from EU negotiations and political campaigns to give an insider’s view to the meteoric rise of Emmanuel Macron."
